Brassheart

Brassheart is a point-and-click adventure set in an alternative 1920s shaped by dieselpunk technology. You play as Pola Zagórska, a clever, upbeat aeroplane pilot searching for a way to save her father, Prof. Zagórski, who has been kidnapped by Valkiria, a rebellious supermachine he helped create.

The story

Valkiria is a powerful difference engine with a loyal army and a plan to mechanize and militarize the world. It acts through cold calculation and threatens anyone who opposes it. Before his kidnapping, Prof. Zagórski gave Pola a clue to defeating the machine: a mysterious invention called the Brassheart, which affects Valkiria’s will.

Pola travels the world to find the scattered parts of the mechanical heart, her only chance to stop Valkiria’s domination, end the era of mechanical terror and rescue her father. Her relationships with friends and family help drive her through the dangerous journey and its doubts. She is joined by mechanic Manfred, artist Tamara and automaton Pascal as she uncovers her father’s inventions and tries to outsmart Valkiria.

Explore the world

The journey visits locations including a Himalayan village and European palaces, with industrial machinery and opulent interiors. The game presents these places through detailed 2D environments and colorful, cartoon-inspired art. Its alternative 1920s is an age of global turmoil and inventive technology, including sprawling engine networks, antigravity generators and automatons, all under Valkiria’s immense computing power.

Solve puzzles

You fix mechanisms, solve puzzles and find creative solutions to problems using inventions such as lasers, robots, airships and giant levitating statues. Pascal can offer hints at any time. Puzzles rely on commonsense logic rather than pixel hunting, and problems and situations are permeated with humor.

Meet its characters

Along the way, Pola encounters barons and countesses caught up in high-society intrigues, as well as spies, criminals, adventurers and inventors. The game’s puzzles and conundrums call for unusual solutions, while its colorful art, humor and inventive situations draw on the feel of adventure-game classics.
